Gadzooks Mr. M, looks like fun was had on a bluebird day. A vicarious visit via visual view. Merci!

Managed to canoe on Big Creek near Long Point for the eclipse and it was astounding. Got some...

Spent the afternoon paddling my canoe on Big Creek which empties into Long Point Bay on the north shore of Lake Erie. Met a couple in kayaks that offered me a pair of glasses because they had extra...

Had to reset my password. Clunky site this TRGeez.

Any pics from Hidden Valley? Tall tales? Snow reports to make me jealous?

Having lots of visits to the hospital lately and found out a gadget...

Yesterday morning I planned to make the Hidden Valley event. Phone call in the afternoon changed that plan. My wife has been on a waiting list for over a year for a medical diagnosis. She goes in...

Surprising to hear that they had the guns going there. I think they end their season at the end of March regardless of the conditions. Nice to see the dedication.

Thought about sneaking into the...

Storm of the season in Toronto? Drove through there around noon Friday and it was looking snowy. Top of the DVP had plows out and traffic jams. Bottom of the DVP was basically snowless and we...

Magicians at the local, rabbit out of a hat stuff. Saturday looked awful on the web cams, Sunday brought some pow to get Monday on its feet and now Tuesday continues to resurrect an apparent corpse....

Friday wasn't bad after they shifted some snow around. They decided to close over the weekend what with the rain and snow in the forecast.

This morning was interesting to say the least. Snow was...

Easy there Paulster. Don't want to alienate the ex-pats.:tongue:

Watching a typical downhill race on the telly and the finish line is about as high as some of our hills but it isn't the size of...

You're doing it wrong?:biggrin:

Frickin' free heel and one ski suddenly stopping in dirt. Petey went boom. The joys of end of season eh. Not!

Have a great trip Paulster. Jealous. The snow in your pics looked fun

Mr. Multiglisse, keeping an eye on that one. Between planned trips and cancellations I have yet to join the group other than...

Forecast has night time sub freezing temps this weekend. Might be enough to get a refill from the guns. Money to be made if that happens.

No Whistler trip this year Paulster? I'm ready to hang up...

No brown today. Great morning to get out sliding. This season could end in the next week or so but I have my hopes up. What else are you going to do? A pic from Boler this morning.

The flash freeze with flashing lightning was quite something at Arrowhead. Inch or so of snow yesterday freshened the xc trails up. That snow also kept the treachery of frozen rain on the trails to a...

Amen. 110 across the chest is a bitch.

Mid-seventies at Jay and a former member of the Canadian ski team kept telling me to get out of the back seat. Sage advice.

The bit of rain there on Wednesday night knocked your snow pack down quite a bit. X-country at Arrowhead on Tuesday was so good. Wednesday was nice but waxing left a tad to be desired. Headed back...

Annoys the hell out of me the protectionism between provinces. That nonsense means my wine dollars go out of Canada. It is almost as if they are working for the foreign vintners.

4 inches in an hour this morning. Thank you Lake Huron for sending this gift.

2 or 3 cms from the 'storm'. Hoping some of youse guys got a refill. Umbrella weather on the way if truth be told.

Cross-country at Arrowhead next week might keep me from the mid winter...

Constant battle with the squirrels attacking the bird feeder. Slingshot doesn't quite cut it. They even wandered within ten feet of this goshawk chowing down on one of their brethren the other day....

More info on the new tech at Boler.

Looks like the spring conditions are headed exit stage left soon....

Boler got this 'cool' machine last year and it makes 'snow' above freezing. Think little ice pellets and no sticky double eject kinda stuff. Was up on that hill the other day when it was 8 or 9c and...

You put yourself on ignore? Cool story bro.

Where's my paper bag? Yup, make your defence worser. I wonder how many games he gets for that goonery? Idjit!

Another option to check would be travelling east from Toronto along the north shore of Lake Ontario. Sounds like some decent bike trails. Regardless, sounds like a blast of a trip.

I could use a pup like that in my backyard. The squirrels mock me as I try keeping them off the feeder. They are no longer as skttish when I pull out the slingshot. Sunflower seeds are not cheap eh....

Nice morning to get out. Sunshine and decent grooming with the snow they blew last night. Ladies day so it was pretty quiet because of a lack of school trips. Looking south-west from the top of the...

Ummmm...Marble Mountain?

You're welcome, they were all here in London.

Found a strip of 'pow' this morning and lapped that for a while. Nice ice mist coating the trees. Should'a brought my camera. Rock hard where the guns...

Meters to feet mix up? Too good to be true I guess.

I know of a couple of lost ski resorts not listed in that booklet. How many more that they missed?

Worst conditions of the season yesterday....

Following link is about one of our locals. Stan. Stan loaned me a booklet that lists all the ski resorts in Ontario. Guessing from the late sixties or early seventies. Looks like more than one...

Hope springs eternal for that bar.

Heavy rain and fog yesterday afternoon was meh and then I forgot my helmet this morning. Made a bunch of runs and called it quits before bad things happened.
...

The Glen looks to be in good shape. Hope this weather doesn't cause any mayhem. When are they going to put a bar there? Might get to visit this season with one of my brothers and a nephew.

Managed...

Wow! What a vivid imagination you have. Maybe you should be more concerned with your own bailiwick and the waste of tax dollars there.

Yes, do take a lap.

Channeling Gil eh. :wink:

Shhhh! :D

Any worry about widow makers with the wind? It was nasty here. Thought about making the trip but road conditions and the relative lack of snow in your area said no.

This storm has been a lunch bag...

This too shall pass...I hope.

A few pics from this morning. The new snow didn't bond to the hard pack but still fun.

Just turn your monitor to get the full monty.

Wood chippers are good eh?

Singles line will get you more runs. No gaper there.

Pick up some Indian take out or dim sum items for easy meals. We freeze quite a bit of food for camping and glamping trips. Spaghetti is a fave as well as enchiladas. Reheat and good to go. Most of...

Storm left less than half an inch on the lawn but a good solid inch of suzie cream cheese goodness on the local hill. Hero snow but once the temps went above freezing it got slow. Went from sliding...

Heard folks that had recently been to Blue commenting on the superior conditions at Boler. That ain't right but it is what it is.

Forecast is getting better and better but it looks like 20-25mms...

Damn Paulster, that is some nasty shite you went through with wrists and slips. Thanks for the advice on not going to the darkside. Skateboarding is as far as I will tread with regards to single...

Great to see the guns firing again on New Year's day. Trouble was that things got sticky as honey. Was behind a skier that performed a double eject with one ski sticking straight up. Had to stay on...

Someone has to start this thread. Might as well be me after numerous outings.

Local hill opened on the 15th and got my butt out quite a few times so far. Yesterday was bueno with above freezing...

Had a great viewing last year. Got up about 4am, made coffee and sat in a lawn chair in the backyard. Kinda hazy at the moment with a few stars poking out. Generally pretty reliable for some streaks....

And his hair is perfect.

Somebody needs to start a new nanner for Ontario. Guessing that several resorts have already opened? Haven't skied yet so maybe if you have been sliding start this season.

Missed a chance at...

The guy is a villain...until he plays on your team.

Reminds me I need to go out and get some skates. My old ones hurt like heck. Would love to tack some blades onto the bottoms of my T2Xs. That...
